Question changing auth. type for domain
Has anyone tried changing their authentication type for their domain name in Network Solutions from email to password? Was it easy getting it done, and does it really help security for your domain? Thanks for any feedback.

Welcome to TWF, John.
I have a little experience with NSI and most of it and from what I've heard from other people, is down right bad. If you have troubles, you can always switch over to a much better (and cheaper!) domain registerar like 000domains.com. There will be no downtime or anything for your site.

Greetings!
I have used, email auth, password auth and PGP auth with NSI and none of them work corectly all the time. The password auth might be a little easier then always using the same mail account however. I would do as the above person suggested and spend the $$ to transfer your domain to a more responsible registrar.
Most good registrars now have easy to use online web interfaces and you can make the changes right there online and have them get done by the next day.
